Minneapolis - Diamond Lake Neighborhood - Project Updates

As temperatures begin to rise, CenterPoint anticipates the beginning of the 2025 construction season. Beginning in early April, service crews will be present in the Diamond Lake area to resume moving meters outside and upgrading service lines. Permanent restoration for those who received temporary solutions in the winter will also be in the area in the coming weeks.

Additional updates will be provided as we have them.

Have a wonderful March!

Installation of modern gas mains across the Diamond Lake neighborhood was completed in the final months of 2024. In 2025, as weather allows, utility crews will return to the project site and continue replacing and reconnecting service lines and moving meters outside. Crews will also replace temporary winter restoration work with permanent solutions.

Updates will be provided before work resumes this year.

Enjoy the winter months!

There are two service crews moving through the Diamond Lake Neighborhood upgrading the service lines, reconnecting them to the newly installed main, and moving natural gas meters outside homes for increased safety and easy access.

One crew has recently completed upgrades on Oakland Avenue and is now working on the 59th and 60th block of Park Avenue. Another crew is on Clinton Avenue between Chester Street and 58th Street E.

Multiple crews are working in the Diamond Lake Neighborhood of Minneapolis completing both natural gas main construction and service line work.

One crew is finishing up services on Oakland Avenue and will move to Park Avenue later this week. The second crew is installing a new natural gas main on Clinton Avenue.

Work in Diamond Lake will continue for a few more weeks before completion.

During the week of Oct. 1st, 2024, a crew from Michel’s, a CenterPoint Energy authorized contractor, completed connecting the service lines to the new natural gas main as well as moving meters from inside to outside of residents homes on Nicollet Ave S between W Diamond Lake Rd and E 57th St. Restoration crews have begun to restore the sidewalk, curb, and roadbed. The restoration process is anticipated to take approximately 2 weeks. While restoration is still in progress, parking will continue to be restricted on both sides of Nicollet Ave S in these areas. Thank you so much for your continued patience while we restore your street!

This summer and fall 2024, CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractors will work on select streets throughout the Diamond Lake Neighborhood in Minneapolis to move inside meters outside by appointment and to replace some natural gas service lines as needed. The project’s area is from 55th Street E. to 62nd Street E. and from 2nd Avenue S. to Chicago Avenue S.

Equix Integrity updates our records on the locations of sewer lines in relation to natural gas lines. Michels Corporation will move inside meters to the outside of homes by appointment and replace natural gas service lines as needed. Q3 Contracting will restore the areas affected by Michels Corporation’s work. There will be no assessment or cost associated with our work.
